But when’s the last time you paused to give something to yourself? \nThis retreat is designed for equestrians who want to deepen their self-awareness\, unlock greater connection with their horses\, and become the kind of partner a horse wants to follow. \nHow we show up matters.\nOur horses feel everything.They respond to our posture\, our nervous system\, and our energy—far more than to our techniques or cues.This weekend is a chance to explore how presence\, softness\, and self-awareness can transform your relationship with your horse… and yourself. \nYou can attend Saturday or Sunday or both. \nSaturday: The Mindful Rider Experience (No Horse Required)\nTime: 8:30 AM – 3:00 PMCost: $230Min/Max Participants: 4/6 \nA day of deep awareness\, energetic alignment\, and embodied horsemanship. \n8:30 – Opening Circle: We Are All Energy \nMeet us in the air-conditioned comfort of the Wellness Center.

You can bring your own or place an order with us from a local favorite like Wallace Station or The Midway Bakery. Feel free to gather on the porch or sit on a bench under a tree. \n12:45 – Session 4: Listening Differently: Introduction to Animal Communication (Jenny Salyers) \nLed by intuitive equestrian Jenny\, this session opens a window into what your horse may be trying to tell you.
